I adore this lamp! Love the weighted base - stops it wobbling or leaning on my carpet. Great overall quality. It has a standout design that illuminates the corner of the room by my desk, offering extra brightness for writing/reading. The option to use any combination of 1-3 lights using the switch on the pole is great, as is the price. Assembly is fairly simple too. I gave the lamp 4 not 5 stars only because on arrival, the box was slightly open, although the contents were untouched, and because the lamp arrived a few days late
